Yesterday I put a question on my WhatsApp status regarding what kind of salsa is good to buy for those of us who don't make homemade. I got quite a few answers and some told me they'd like to know too, so here's a report.
1. Chi Chi's
2. On the Border
3. Leal's (apparently not available in PA, but looks like it can be bought online)
4. Newman's Own medium, put in chopper to get rid of chunks
5. Penny's Salsa
6. fresh salsa from refrigerator/produce section
7. Pace - recommended by 3 people! One person blends it a bit and adds cilantro. Another person blends it and adds vinegar, salt, and garlic salt.
8. Two people sent me recipes using canned tomatoes
Yum! Some of the suggestions I've already tried and I'm looking forward to sampling new ones. Since I mostly shop at Sam's Club I've just been buying whatever they have - On the Border, Member's Mark, etc. Of course, it usually comes in a bigger container so I've had a problem with it going bad before the jar is empty. I kind of go through spurts where I eat a lot of it for awhile, then it sits in the fridge for a long time. Cliff rarely eats salsa (popcorn for him!) so I guess I need to start buying smaller jars. Thanks for sharing your favorites!
Awesome list! I've done blend and add cilantro thing with PACE. Makes it way better! If you want another easy recipe with canned tomatoes let me know. That's the only way I make 'homemade' salsa. (Unless I just make fresh.)
ReplyDeleteLove this list!! I like to do the blend the Pace thing too. Also have added stuff to canned tomatoes. Mostly I buy Piggly Wiggly’s Best Choice medium taco sauce! It’s pretty good! 😉
